What's up with that? Nakie-bird's fur gets all oily and stuff. He NEVER cleans himself while our other kitten, Orion, is fastitious and fluffy.
Ok, take this behavior--

YL loves on little Orion. Little Or then cleans himself.
YL loves on Nakie-bird. Nakie does not clean himself.

YL feeds kitties, both eat heartily.
Or immediately washes his face.
Naked goes and takes a nap.

I mean, I really can't bathe Naked because he's 15 pounds of wet fury in the bathtub-- what do you suggest? Sedatives?

Is there anyway that I can encourage him to bathe himself? I've tried brushing his fur, not bathing him for months, bathing him every month... I don't know what to do!

I mean...he's not like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown...yet...
